The film had high-octane action scenes by Jagapathi Babu and anasuya Bharadwaj. Some viewers have loved it, while others criticised it for the addition of unnecessary scenes in the film.

The plot of Simbaa revolves around the character of Akhila, played by anasuya Bharadwaj, who works as a normal school teacher but gets involved in a murder case. The police investigating the serial murders come to confirm that Anumula is accompanied by Akshik along with investigative journalist Fazil (Srinath Maganti). They are arrested and sent to jail.

The story takes a twist when it is revealed that the victims were related to industrialist Partha played by Kabir Singh. During the investigation, anasuya bharadwaj was seen refusing the crimes. In the murders, Jagapathi Babu also seems connected somehow, which is revealed in the film as it progresses.

As per the viewers, murali Manohar started the movie with the introduction of anasuya Bharadwaj’s character and the scene where she murders a person that gradually engages the audience. The main strength of this film is the characters of anasuya and Jagapathi Babu. Srinath Maganti and anish kuruvilla were impressive in their respective roles. Vasishta N Simha’s role as an investigative officer was another sleepy hit role in the film. Although Simmba is the first film for murali as a director, he has handled the story like an experienced filmmaker. The viewers have called the story engaging.
